SATURDAY" MORNING, APRIL 14, 1877.
It la understood, that a foreign mis
sidli jnobably tlie mission to Switzer
land will te offered to Ex-Governor
Cimmberlnln of South Carolina, and
there U no doubt of his acceptance
Tim Supreme Court of the United
Stutei decided Monday that thu Con
gressional appropriation of $1,500,000
to the Centennial Exhibition must bo
paid back Into the Treasury beforo
there U any distribution of profits to
the stockholders.
Sir. Adnmson, our Consul General
nt Melbourne, writes to tho State De
partment that "No American should
emigrate to Australia who does not
carry with him the means for return'
Ing In a year, ns such emigrants are
likely, in most instauces, to want to get
back to tlioUnited States in that time."
Tlio pilgrimage of American Catho
lics to Rome will start on the 21st uf
tills month. Tho committee of arrange
ments bare secured tho entire passenger
nccommodatlo'n of tho steamship City
of Brussels. That vessel can carry 170
persons, but the committee, to avoid
the inconvenience of too large a party,
have determined to limit the number to
ouo hundred.
The Pittsburg Tost says, Judgo
Trunky of the Venango district, who
stands high among the common plea
Judges of tho state, has rendered a de
cision that tho provisions of the new
stay law do not apply to cases where
stay of execution is waived by contract,
nor to claims for labor. He says the
act Is nearly a literal copy of tho stay
law of 1842, and the constitutionality
may therefore be considered as adjudN
cated by the Supremo Court in the case
of Ghadwlck vs. Mooie.
The Southern Hotel, In St. Louis,
was destroyed by flro Wednesday morn
ing, about two o'clock. It was at first
supposed that forty or fifty persons had
perished by this fire, but the latest re
ports show that not more than ten per
sons are known to have lost their lives,
and it Is believed that few or no bodies
remain to bo found in the ruins. Sever
al persons were injured, among them
Miss. Fraukio McClelland, an actress,
whose recovery Is doubtful. Tho loss
on tho hotel and furniture is about
$720,000.
A joint committee of tho Mass
achusetts Legislature, accompanied by
the General Manager of tho Delaware
and Hudson Canal, and a number of
railroad officials, left Scranton Sunday
evening for Buffalo, by way of Blng
hampton. They had a hurried view of
the anthracite resources of the Lack
awanna region, and were favorably im
pressed by the proposed route of tho
Boston, Uoosac Tunnel and Western
Railway. This road, which is expected
to bo constructed at an early date, will
open a new outlet for Scranton coal to
Boston nnd tho principal cities of tho
Merrimae Valley, and will connect
with the Delaware and Hudson Canal
Company's rofd at Schenectady.
According to tho orders of tho
President, last week, through the War
Oepartn.ent, thosquadof United States
soldiers that have been doing garrison
duty In tho South Carolina Stato Houso
xlnee last December were marched out
Tuesday at twelve o'clock. A bout tho
tamo time ex-Guvernor Chamberlain
Bied a valedictory nddreas, announc
ing his purpose to abandon further con
test. In which, with manifestly sup
pressed passion, he Indulged Jn re
proaches against the President ana the
1'OiiUiuil "traders" whose counsel ap
proved the withdrawal of the troops.
Chamberlain is an adroit dialectician,
few men belug Ids superiors In bo tell
lug a story as to exhibit in strong lelief
all of the btrong points of his own case,
whilst entirely couceallug the strouger
facts of the other side. This address Is
an apt illustration, hut It Is no longer
worth while to discuss tho fact on cither
side. Governor Hampton has tho au
thority aud responsibility now, and tho
country will expect him to wield it both
wisely, humarely, and with Impartial
justico.
Says the New York Herald, of tho
1st lust.: TIih agent of a sewing ma
chine company had sold a machine to a
person in Brooklyn on what is known
as a "lease." The payments under
such a sale are to be made by install
uieuta, but the machine Is only 'leased'
to the purchaser, the payments are
designated "rent," aud when default
ia made, if oven on the very last Install
ment, the agent steps In, reclaims the
luaslilue and retains atl the money that
lias been paid upnu it. This one-sided
kuralu is a cheat on its face, and be
tides, large addition Is generally made
to the honest price of the much I no
when thus sold on time. In ibo Brook-
lyn case thu purchnscr hart eighty
doll.irs, when, falling !n muctlui; nil lu
ftallmcnt, tho machine was seized nml
carried oft by the ngent. Tho victim,
ked purchaser brought suit to rrcovcr
tho amount ho liad paid. Judgo Gilbert
Immediately directed tho not imAilllng
Jury to tlve tho plaintiff n verdict for
tho fuU nmount with Interest. Tho
couosel for the company pleaded for
delay. "Not an Instant," was Judge
Gilbert's reply. This Is treating these
sharp dealers to n littlo of their own
medicine. "Not nn Instant,' Is their
reply when n purchaser asks for time.
The Brooklyn decision will probably
encourage n number of persons who
have lost both their money nnd ma
chines by such sharp practlco to nU
tempt to recover either tho ouo or tho
other.
